Ain't Seen My Face

Annotation — My Lai & Lt. William Calley Songs

Lil Keed, Pop Rap / Trap artist born Raqhid Jevon Render on 16 March 1998 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The song "Ain’t Seen My Face" (Young Stoner Life) contained a small reference to the My Lai massacre as a comparison to violence in the US: "chopper send a nigga sky-high... niggas burnt out, call 'em My Lai" - this was a disproportionate comparison, as the My Lai Massacre involved the mass murder of between 300-500 civilians in the South Vietnamese area known as "Pinkville", containing the hamlets, known as My Lai 4 and My Khe 4, and throughout the area of Song My, by US forces on 16 March 1968.

Lyrics

English: Chopper send a nigga sky-high / I'm geeked out, eatin' Five Guys / Bad bitch gotta be wine fine / Get a nigga whacked from the blindside / I'm smokin' super strong, call it Popeye / If that stick talk, bet they all die / Niggas burnt out, call 'em My Lai / In the sky, high, on a private flight
